When Healthcare is unaffordable and unattainable for americans, how are we the people supposed to have a life of Liberty and the pursuit of happiness without being able to afford to survive?

Doctors visits, ER trips, hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation and prescriptions all add up. I plan to address the fact that our government allows corporations to make life and death decisions for Americans every single day, literally costing people their lives. It shouldn't cost over $1,000.00 for an ambulance ride, nor should ot cost upwards to $40,000.00 to have a child. While you are fighting for your life and battling cancer, or standing by your child's side as they battle cancer, the cost to survive is too corporated. It must end.the United States is currently 27th in the world for education, and this is definitely nothing to brag about.

Since the last trump administration, they have been dismantling every portion of our vital education systems from the inside out. The sciences have been attacked, the arts have been terrorized, basic grammar has gone the way of decency in this country. These children don't understand their history, nor their geography. If we are not willing to put our heads to work with Republicans to do what we can to save our future and education, we will lose any kind of resemblance of intelligence in this world. We need to take the bull by the horns, and address directly the lack of accountability of this administration.I grew up in a lower middle class environment. As proud as I am to have made it this far in life without being a statistic, it hasn't been an easy path financially. Prices started increasing over 6 years ago, and everything has gotten even more expensive as time persists. As we have seen this past year, prices continue to increase and more and more people are able to keep groceries in the house. It's the same with electricity here in arizona, price increases every single year without accountability.

We need to be able to live, and to be able to live they need to be able to afford to live.

One of my main focuses is to work with other Democrats and Republicans to help Americans comfortably afford life in this country once again.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The above forementioned are of three top policies that I am most concerned and passionate about. Immigration however is ALWAYS on mind and my heart. We need to immediately address the abuse of power and over reach from the government. Men and women have been hunted like prey, women have been raped, civilians have been shot, people have already died due to ice and it's crap ass actions and policies.

I am the biological daughter of an "illegal" el Salvadorian immigrant and I'll be damned if I will continue to allow this reich/administration to continue abusing and terrorizing civilians.

If you're not pissed off with what is happening to our country, you haven't been paying attention.

GET UP AND FIGHT!

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

So far US Teem Limits has. I believe that once elected, you serve AT most 8-12 years depending the office IF you are elected again.

From the ranks you have been elected, and to the ranks you shall return.
